The Mac & Cheese Candy Canes have “instant mac & cheese flavor,” says the company, which sells them in a package of six candies for $5.95.

Instagram user @junkfoodmom tried the Mac & Cheese candy canes and said the candy “isn’t bad! Smells like cheese and tastes like Mac n cheese but the sweetness overpowers the flavor eventually so it’s doable.”

Apparently, some early shoppers got the candy canes at the bargain price of $4.95.

The candy is just one among an omnibus of oddities available on the Archie McPhee site, where the purveyor touts that for more than three decades it “has been bringing strange and amazing things to the world. We design and manufacture the kinds of impractical items that make life better.”
